An Interesting Letter From Platts-

in the Panama Canal Zone.
Our citizens, Homer McKay, and
wife, parents of Mrs. W. H. Bunch
and Mrs. W. II. Pickett, of the post
ollice, who are spending the winter in
the canal zone, write some very in
teresting letters telling of their life
there and their experiences in that
far-away land.
They write of a terrible hurricane
of wind and rain which visited that
place on the tenth and eleventh of this
month, and which did much damage
to t-hipping, as well as some to the
canal. In this storm there was over
one thousand feet of the breakwater
destroyed, as well as a train of ledger
wood cars blown from the tracks of
the railroad. It would seem as though
